It's been a month now since Sarah received her new lungs! She is doing amazingly well all things considered. Sarah's had a couple of minor set backs but they are to be expected given her surgery. She's learning to breath again and actually having the energy to walk without issues. We are so amazed at how far she's come and know that it will only get better for her. Her focus now is controlling her sugar levels, gaining weight and learning to live with all the different medicines she's required to take. She's is so optimistic and has such a wonderful outlook. She is beyond amazing. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support. Please continue to pray for her as we move through the new 2 months that she will be required to remain in Nashville to be close to Vanderbilt. We are looking forward to when she can return to Covington to be with her daughter for good. We appreciate all the donations made and know that every penny will be used to help with her continuing medical expenses.

Life is so precious - enjoy each day!

Just wanted to give everyone an update on Sarah.

She is making amazing progress. Each day is precious and full of hope and healing. She's able to breath better now than she has in many years. She's attending therapy classes each day and attending her many various doctor visits. Trying to get her medication regulated which has caused some issues with her sugar levels. We are confident they will get this worked out soon. Best news of all - No signs of rejection!!

Thanks to each and every one of you who have donated to help us raise funds for her care. We are beyond touched by the support of those we know and the ones we've never met. God bless you for your kindness. Please continue to pray for Sarah and her family as we move through this process with her. She's been blessed with the gift of a new life and a chance at new beginnings! With gratitude, Liz (Sarah's Aunt)

Sarah had her double lung transplant at Vanderbilt on Tuesday March 10th. She was taken off the ventilator less than 24 hours after the transplant and breathing with her new lungs!. This has been such a blessing and just in time according to the doctor's. Sarah is already sitting up and walking and learning to breath again after years of struggling.

We have been so amazed by her progress and her positive attitude. She's an incredibly lucky person and while we celebrate her new lease on life, we have to also be grateful to the donor. It's a joy for us and heartbreak for a family that has lost a loved one. Please remember this family in your prayers.

Thanks to everyone for their love and support. We hope that you are able to help with a donation as Sarah goes through the next phase of recuperation in Nashville. She will be there until mid-June.

God Bless you for your help!
